The production of 24's seventh season has been delayed numerous times, and they are already on a very strict time table.  However, some things can't be helped.  The rampant and devastating wild fires that have hit the San Diego area over the past two days have interrupted 24's shooting schedule once again.  Or, at least the plans were changed.  Kiefer Sutherland and the 24 team were supposed to shoot on the Marine Corp's El Toro Air Station, but cast and crew were hindered and ultimately overwhelmed by smoke in the area.  The 24 producers opted to shoot some additional scenes on inside sets instead. 

Other shows affected by the fires include CBS' Cold Case and ABC's Big Shots.  Some of Cold Case's Simi Valley sets were blown down by the strong winds in the area.  Not that any of this should be a concern.  The celebrities will be fine.  24 will be fine.  The thousands of people evacuated from the area who aren't sure whether their homes and all of their belongings have burned to the ground, they might not be OK.  Let's just hope the death toll for these fires don't get any higher than they are now (1), and that the firefighters and rescue workers get everything under control as soon as possible.

In other 24 news, the world premiere of the Day 7 trailer is just two days away,  That's right, on Thursday, October 25, FOX will unveil the first ever footage for season 7 of 24.  At 1pm ET/10am PT, the big screen in Times Square will air the trailer, and it will almost immediately become available online.  The first on-air FOX promo for the the new season will occur during Game 2 of the World Series.  

I'm excited for this preview, if only for the fact that we might get a look at Tony Almeida's return.  FOX might decide to keep that under wraps until the season starts, but everyone knows he's back already, so I say why not?
